Missouri is an infinitely better job than Mississippi State.

We're the only D1 program in the state.

We have two large urban metropolitan areas.

Despite Mizzou being the only Div 1 football program in the state, the Big 10 and football traditional powers steal a lot of talent from your state. Believe or not, the State of Mississippi does a good job of keeping talent in state even if they are splitting it. You only have a slight money advantage over Mississippi state and your recruitment levels are even.
